That check is a target-specific one, which may choose very different implementation on how to handle these builtin surface/texture types. If they don't want to change those types on the device side and, instead, use very different different `textureReference`. Their `getCUDADeviceBuiltinTextureDeviceType()` may return `nullptr` to keep use the same reference type on both host- and device-side compilation.

I can [[ https://clang.llvm.org/docs/LanguageExtensions.html#memory-references-to-specified-segments | annotate any pointer with an arbitrary address space ]] which may then be cast to generic. Or something else.

the backend needs a GlobalVariable as the argument for that intrinsic. The lookup through `addrspacecast` to check a global variable, which is created in the global address space and casted into a generic pointer.

> My concern is -- what else is going to get defined? There are ~60 references to __CUDACC__ in CUDA-10.1 headers. The wrappers are fragile enough that there's a good chance something may break. It does not help that my CUDA build bot decided to die just after we switched to work-from-home, so there will be no early warning if something goes wrong.

Let me check all CUDA SDK through their dockers. Redefining sounds good me as wll.
